Thanks to you who have read and reviewed. Appreciate it!! Oh, and thanks to those of you who put this
as a favorite :) . Ok, so coming up is more conversations with Aro and the family. Is there someway the
can help E/B as well as themselves? I don't know about you all , but the thought of ALL of my memories
being taken away .....hmmm..well maybe a couple ;). But , I wouldn't want to loose myself!! YOU? Mostly
told by Carlisle , somewhat from Esme. Thoughts from our ' younger ' Cullens.

Yep, still don't own anything Twilight. Hope and dream , but nuthin'.......

HOPE...AND MORE QUESTIONS !!
Well, we still really haven't decided who will be responsible for ' changing ' them. Frankly , because we have
more questions. I'm sitting here in my office , waiting return call from Italy. Aro was unable to come to phone,
they we're....ummm...having a 'party'. Ugh... just the thought of the depravity of those words....I'm so thankful
I had found away to exist without having to participate in that ! Ok, I know I shouldn't think that way....like I'm
so much better than them. "PRIDE" , thats my promblem , and remembering the teachings I grew up with , well
it seems I've brought the 'fall' onto my whole family. But , as I try to find excuses for it ....How can't any man,
who has my wife and my children , not feel PRIDE?!! But then I also recall more of my early teachings ,and I
seem to be completely the opposite of most of the sins. Maybe, just maybe....well too late for that. But , with
all the changes that are coming for us all , we can change all of it. Hopefully !!
My door opens , after quick knock and my family enters. All taking same seats or standing , just like last time
we all gathered in here. Then as if waiting for them , the phone rang. Looking at them all , I picked up the phone.
Yes , thank you again for calling me back Aro.
Aro: Yes of course my friend. So , I assume you have alot more questions for now ?!
Yes we do. We are having ...well alot of promblems with the idea of them NOT having any of their
memories from their existance so far. Have you found anything , that good give us hope , that this is a
defineate side?
Aro: Well, interestingly enough we may have. Last night we found more information of similiar um...
stories as your family. And its very interesting. Of course my brothers and I have been discussing it all
night and have even asked some of our guard if they would ever feel the need to be 'reborn' ,if they
would chose to do so. And , ....well my centuries of existance didn't prepare me for their answer dear
Carlisle . Most of them, well almost all, said that if they could be 'reborn' they would . Especially with
what we found last night as an added bonus.
I was getting annoyed and my interest and hope were skyrocketing. Looking at my family , they had same emotions
Really , well Aro what did you find?!
Aro: Oh, I'm sorry friend. But this is truely such an interesting piece of our history. Well , it seems that the
time of 'rebirth' , the vampire in question has recognition to his/her surroundings. Unconciously. And with
time and much patience from someone, they can keep most if not all of their memories.
OH MY GODDESS !!!!! Everyone of us jumped to our feet , hope and excitement flowing from us all . Its first time in
ages can I see 'life' in us all .
Well, really Aro....ummm..this is most glorious news to us.
Aro: Yes , my dear friends, I was so glad that I could have this for you. But truely Carlisle my friend...as a
healer, why didn't you think of it? This is used in your human teachings. But then again, if I'm not mistaking
those teachings are not conclusive. Talking with comatose patients , your physicians aren't sure if the minds
of these unfortunates retain information. But , as we all know....OUR minds are so much more advance and
superior than mere human's, we CAN !!
I sat there , totally stunned ! Why , didn't I think of this?! I could here excited mummerings from my family , but couldn't
quite hear exactly what was being said by anyone of them. Yes , of course, the subconscious pysche. Yes !! And like
Aro said , well our was 'superior', but years of living with humans I tend to push aside our differences. OHHHH , thank
you to those who made us this way !!! Watching my family now , well , just this information was enough to make them
come to 'life' again too.
Yes, yes ....I SHOULD have thought of it. Thank you Aro. Is there any more information you have uncovered that
could also give us help?
Aro: Well, see thats were the conversations come in with our guard, my dear friend. It seems ,as these writings
indicate. That 'ANY' vampire , healthy or ill , can be 'REBORN'. Its any interesting thought , No?! But , as these
writings indicate, it seems, that each of us could be 'reborn' and maybe 'change' our existance to how we would
want it to be. Now , my brother's and I haven't shared this with anyone but ourselves. And now I'm sharing with
my dear friends the Cullen's. BUT.....I do not think or recommend that ANY others be brought into this. It took me
hours to get Caius and Marcus to agree to this. But , we do this because your 'family' is a lets say special circumstance
in our world. I will be 'faxing' you this information Carlisle, and I will worn you, that this is NOT to be given to
anyone outside your family. And when you are done with it , it "WILL BE DESTROYED BY YOU". I hope you
understand us on this my dear friend?!
Yes, yes ,I completely understand Aro. It wouldn't be disasterious if this was to be held by , ummm...upsurpers!!
Well, you have been truely a 'good' friend , you and your brothers. My whole family wishes to convey this to you all.
Aro: Thank you, but anything we can do Carlisle, that is why we are here. You will let us know of course when you
have a defineate agreement, and 'whom' it will intell. Along with that , you will let us know , exactly Carlisle, what
your 'teachings' will be for each involved. Now , I must go, our ummm....party is still going on and I'm missing the
tastiest I'm sure. Good luck dear Cullen's.
He hung up then , with that last sentence sub-doing us all. I shivered at the thought , but...I have tried to pass along my
beliefs and learning experience to them. They are the true meaning of all thats 'vampire'. Shaking my head , I finally look at
my family. They are so much more animated , FINALLY ! Just then, the humming of my fax starts ....Hours later , I'm still
reading this information. And , well , I can't believe this was kept a secret through out our existance ! Its wonderous, and exciting,
and well ....something that should have been study throughout our time!! I can understand the need to keep this quiet , I really do,
but MY need for knowledge ,I recent it ! But , yes , I'm so thankful to all , that we have its knowledge now. I sit staring out into
well nothing. Lists running through my head on what we will need to have with us when we start. Bella's list is of course , so very
short compared to Edward's almost a century and half. And between all of us, both of our loves , will have everything they had
before. But....is that a good thing?!! What if the recent past hurts them again?! What if....they just revert back into coma's, after
a time?! What if........? Shaking myself out of this , I listened for where my family are. Esme , of course is with Bella and Edward,
talking quietly to them. I can hear cheerfulness in her voice , and of course her never ending supply of love. Hmm.. I can also
hear water being rung out from cloth ...chuckles...its bath time. Thats when I realize I haven't heard any of the other 'children'.
But... knowing Esme ..she kicked them out so she could do it herself.
I knock softly on the door, Esme my love, its me. Then , as I opened it , she stands up and smiles at me. My favorite one,
the one she shows us all how much she loves us. Just in time my love, I just finished . She takes all her items she had had
gathered for her chore into bathroom. I walk to side of their bed and gaze at them, with love and longing. Thanking our Italian
family again for giving me the necessary equipment to bring them back to us soon!! Esme had returned , holding her hand out
to me and curling into me. So, where did everyone run of to dear. I don't hear them in house or around the grounds.
I'm not sure dear. Maybe they went hunting . We all realize we have alot of work ahead of us. Everything needs to be just so
for Edward and Bella. Maybe they thought to be prepared for it. Yes , I thought , they would want to be ready. Not even the
need to hunt , being an excuse to stop once we've started to prepare. With that , Yes dear, they do have right idea. Why
don't we both go and hunt also? So we are ready too. No, you go and when your finished , I'll go. I'm not leaving them alone
in the house. I smiled to myself, of course the Mama Bear wouldn't leave her cubs!! I will be back quickly, then you can go
while I sit with them. She kissed my cheek , smiling tenderly at me.
As I was leaving , I could hear the others returning. But ...their voices seemed angry....almost hostile. Now what?! Waiting for
them to appear, I stood at top of steps. Finally , coming through trees, my other sons and daughters. Of course , my stray
thoughts, as normal, aren't they glorious?!! Shaking myself out of this, I notice a definate difference. They are all , well tense.
Of course we all have been, but when they left they all seemed so 'loose'.
Whats happened? Are you all alright?! We don't need anymore promblems , we have away out of this last disaster, please
not another.!!! They stop as soon as I had asked them...but ... they just stand there, looking from one to another and finally back
to me. I notice they all look to Jasper, and he took a hesitant step towards me. I pulled myself up and braced myself for this, it
seems Jasper is to be their spoke person.
"Well, no nothing really 'new' , Carlisle. Just ....we need to have a family meeting about everything." he said.
But of course , we will be. I'm going to hunt and now since your back , Esme can join me.
Jasper..."well , good ....good. Because , well , Carlisle...we've been talking. And , well if they ...he points to an upstairs
window....are going to go through this , the 'rebirth' ....well we feel ....that is.....dam it.... we all want to also !!!! "
WHAT?!! I can hear running and sobbing from in the house . WHAT ??!!!!!! Esme flies out the door , NONONONO , NOOOOOOOO.
What are you all thinking?!!!! She has thrown herself at me and is sobbing harder now. I continue to look from one to another of
our 'kids'. WHAT?! , are you all insane?!
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
